The symbol π , present
on the container, indi-
cates synthetic brake flu-
ids distinguishing it from mineral
fluid. Using mineral type fluid
would damage the special rubber
braking system gasket beyond re-
pair.
Do not clean the filter-
ing element. You could
damage it and conse-
quently severely damage the en-
gine.
Replace the cleaner
more frequently than
shown in the Service
Schedule if the car is frequently
used on dusty roads.
IMPORTANT Brake fluid is hy-
groscopic (meaning it absorbs humid-
ity). This is why, the fluid should be
changed more frequently than shown
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan if the
car is mainly driven in areas with high
percentage of humidity in the air.
